Beth Hughes is a true Southerner.As a Georgia native, she knows the South is more than just a spot on the map, it’s a way of life. From porch swings and lightning bugs to sweet tea and college football, Beth is fully immersed in the sugarcoated southern lifestyle. Like a lot of us, she was inspired to turn on her creative light. That little light inside each of us we need to let shine. It was this creative drive, combined with Beth’s southern roots, that sparked Little Light Co.
